Delaying the Inevitable

Well, that was a bit anticlimatic, poor show, sqwuaketh Mr Eagle Eye! The Resistance seem to be being totally out-maneuvered by Brown's cabal of thugs. But that will only last so long as Mandleson decides to stick around Gord's side. However, it is no secret that Mandelson craves the office of Foreign Secretary. This will give others leverage over Mandelson too.

Now with under a year to go until a general election, time is ticking away for Mandelson; if he wants to be Foreign Secretary, he needs to act soon, and he will sell his services to the highest bidder. If there are any upstarts with any balls, promising Mandelson the Foreign Secretary role once Brown is down would be a good place to start.

Hopefully, Brown will stay on; each week he stays translates into more seats for the Conservatives, and more years of Labour in the wilderness, post election. But whilst Mr Eagle Eye hopes Brown stays on, Mr Eagle Eye wishes him the worst ride of his life, lurching from scandal to scandal, until Labour are once again crippled for a generation!
